Our Story

Once upon a time, a NYC gal met a Texan and moved to Austin -only to get engaged 2 months later. One day at a wedding open house, she shared their 6 month wedding timeline with different planners… but each stared back like a deer caught in headlights 😳 Disappointed & confused, she asked herself, “Why is it so hard for event experts to plan our wedding in less than a year?”

That’s when she decided, “I’ll start a company that plans special celebrations in any timeframe! We’ll highlight clients’ unique personalities and keep things stress-free with expert problem solvers for those hectic days.”

✨ And thus Events in a Crunch was born ✨
